Logically, a color, green etc., is a 'simple' notion and cannot be explained terms of anything simpler. With color we have to revert to a different description, here wavelength. But wavelength is not human perception (and we can't explain such perception in simpler terms).
Is a crab a mammal or a reptile?
I'm not gonna fight you on that.
Is a hot dog a sandwich?
Is a burrito a sandwich?

(Yes in New York and Indiana, no in Massachusetts, and the law is silent elsewhere. Personally I believe that because the torta exists, the burrito may have some characteristics of a sandwich but should be considered a wrap)

No, it's a calzone, per https://cuberule.com/
Of course. It's a bologna sandwich in log form.
>It's a bologna sandwich in log form.

It's an insect. 6 legs, exoskeleton, etc.
I know you're making a joke about classification, but crabs have 10 legs, not 6.
My bad, I misremembered. 6 walking legs, two swimming legs, two pincer legs.
